Yes you will need to. There are different subscription 3 levels to SiriusXM Guardian which give you different security and convenience options. This is separate from a subscription to Sirius radio if you want to maintain Sirius radio. And this is separate from AT&T wifi data. So there are three different subscriptions if you want to keep all the trial features that come with the car.

 

Ridiculous price to just simply want to remotely start your car and lock/unlock it.
Companies like Ford with their FordPass™️ is offered for FREE.
Not sure why Stellantis doesn’t offer their own in-house instead of needing to use SiriusXM Guardian.

 

How much is it?
For what we are paying for these things, it shouldn't be extra.

 

For the complete package it’s $24.98 USD or $33.98 CAD per month.

Aftermarket companies like Viper will offer the remote start, lock/unlock, GPS tracking for much much less.

 

I don’t think that average price for a vehicle is 40 grand that it’s just slightly above median . All manufactures, if I remember correctly , charge for this feature except for Ford . The company can soak the feature into manufacture sigh retail price or solely go it alone as a option after the trial period . Either way your going to pay for it like sirrius radio , hotspot fromAT&T . What about people who pay over 100000 grand for a car and also have to pay for it .
